seriously considering buying a DS4 as my next motor. my question is what do owners like about the car and what do you hate about the car .... ?

There's plenty on here that covers this but in synopsis;

Likes;
Comfort, seats, ride, interior quality (generally), running costs, style

Dislikes;
Central display without sat nav (circa 1986), poor RHD wiper cover, rear seat base doesn't fold up, joke price for an OEM tow bar.

Likes (in DStyle 2.0Hdi automatic):
Effortless power, comfort of seats, reliability, running cost, handling, driving position, electronic 'toys' (most of which are very useful), the built in sat nav, external and internal design

Dislikes:
Ride can be a little harsh on poorly maintained road (but okay otherwise), no spare wheel as standard, poor rear wiper coverage, access to rear seats for adults, poor over-shoulder visibility in rear quarters when emerging onto a road at an acute angle

Hope this helps.

Likes:
- design
- rarity on roads
- its being a class in itself (i.e. its not an SUV nor a coupe)
- comfortable front seats
- running costs
- good interior materials (plastics, metals, chrome inserts)
- big rear view mirrors
- highly-positioned gearbox
- high ground clearance
- premium class aspiration
- well-equipped for reasonable money


Dislikes:
- LEDs vs DRLs (lights confusion)
- deep clutch
- lack of rear view camera
- rear seats better for a briefcase rather than passengers (unless midgets)
- massage seats should be called tickle seats, its not a massage they offer
